Assam's eviction drives, aimed at forest conservation and a zero-tolerance policy against encroachment, are reportedly targeting Bengali-speaking Muslim settlers while allegedly sparing politically aligned encroachers. Investigations in Biswanath and Sonitpur districts reveal large-scale, organized violations of forest laws, including permanent settlements and tree felling near protected areas, occurring with apparent state complicity. This selective enforcement raises questions about the government's motives and adherence to environmental regulations.
